Common mistakes

  • 1Running the VWO SmartCode before consent, which modifies page content and sets cookies immediately
  • 2Not distinguishing between functional A/B tests and personalisation experiments in consent settings
  • 3Using VWO's heatmap and session recording features without obtaining appropriate consent for those features

Compliance considerations

Collects visitor identifiers, experiment assignments, and conversion events. The VWO SmartCode modifies page content to show test variations. Basic A/B testing for site optimisation may operate under legitimate interest. Personalisation features that build visitor profiles require analytics consent. VWO sets first-party cookies for visitor identification.
